Aquarium Guest Diver Program

The Aquarium Guest Diver and Shark Diver programs are relatively new and are now offered by a few aquariums around the world. At one time, aquarium tank diving was the exclusive territory of staff scuba divers and a lucky few volunteers. Aquariums in South Africa, Britain and Australia have had guest diver programs since the early 1990's, but only a handful of American aquariums currently offer guest diver programs.

Below is a list of aquariums that offer this type of program. If you know of anymore guest diver or shark diver programs not listed below, please forward this information to us and we will post it on our website.
